Operative words

Beauty salons, nail salons, tattoo parlors, massage parlors must cease operations [Husch summary of the Mar. 24, 2020 order]; DHM 2020-001 recites that it 'does not supersede the provisions of the March 18, 2020 Order issued by Douglas County Nebraska' (NE-002)

Enforcement

Local DHM; enforced with law enforcement aid

Notes

The first local COVID-19 order in Nebraska; the salon closure preceded the statewide closure of Apr. 9-10 by two weeks

Retrieval note

Existence of the Mar. 18 order is proved by the State's own DHM 2020-001 (primary); the Mar. 24 salon order rests on the Husch Blackwell tracker (NE-097); the county's release URL now returns 404 and the Wayback copy was not reached.
